Settlement Wines Chardonnay 2019, Marlborough

From the Poplars Vineyard - aromas of ripe yellow stone fruits, sweet grapefruit, baked custard toasty wood and spice qualities of fresh new French oak. Complex and youthful. On the palate - it’s all about texture and synergy of fruit, wood and place. Full bodied, no mistaking the impact of oak with a new wood core and plenty of acidity ensures the ageing potential is engaged from the outset. Cushioning from the ripe fruit, barrel spices and warming alcohol present a wine that will age well, is ready to drink - with food till end of 2022 - with best drinking from 2023 through 2028+. Am keen to try this wine again this time in 2022.
